Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dishwashers, and particularly refers to a cleaning machine for cleaning tableware and fruits and vegetables. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in dishwashers with a relatively large capacity, generally multiple spray arms are provided.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent "Water flow system for a cleaning machine and cleaning machine" (Patent No.: CN219846437U, Application No.: CN202321315257.7) discloses a structure which is provided with a bottom spray arm, a middle spray arm and a top spray arm, and each spray arm is pumped with water by the same water pump arranged at the bottom of the box body. Since the lower dish rack is the main cleaning area and usually has more tableware placed on it, in order to improve the cleaning effect in this area, the above cleaning machine is also provided with a side spray arm at the side wall of the lower part of the box body for spraying water columns from the side of the lower dish basket.

[0004] However, when there is less tableware placed in the lower dish basket, the water columns sprayed by the above side spray arm will pass through the upper dish basket and impact the inner side wall of the door body, which not only reduces the utilization rate of the water columns sprayed by the side spray arm, but also generates a lot of noise, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a cleaning machine that can improve the utilization rate of the side water spray and reduce noise according to the current situation of the prior art.
